Fifty-four years ago today, on August 14, 1971 (June 24, 1971 lunar calendar), Mao Zedong made an important speech on his southern tour. Minutes of Mao Zedong's tour of the south. Mao Zedong left Beijing on August 14, 1971. On the 16th, Mao Zedong arrived in Wuhan. In Wuhan, Mao Zedong held five talks with the party, government and military leaders in Hubei, Henan and other places. Mao Zedong focused on the performance of Chen Boda, Huang Yongsheng, Wu Faxian, Ye Qun, Li Zuopeng, Qiu Huizuo and others at the Lushan Conference, saying that they "have a plan, an organization, and a program." And Lin Biao "of course has to take some responsibility." The struggle in Lushan was "someone is eager to become president of the state, to split the party, and to seize power." He said: 'Comrade Lin Biao's speech was not discussed with me, nor was it shown to me.' As far as the Lushan struggle is concerned, "although a working meeting was held in Beijing, and several generals made a tenor, but they hesitated", "Lin Biao did not speak, these people will not speak". Therefore, "the Lushan matter has not been completed and has not been resolved", "There are still people behind Chen Boda." Mao Zedong also seemed to have a slight sense of the conspiracy of Lin Biao and his gang to seize power by armed force, so he said, "I don't believe that our army is rebelling, and I don't believe that you Huang Yongsheng can command the People's Liberation Army to rebel! There are still divisions and regiments under the army, as well as divisions, government and rear organs. You mobilize the army to do bad things, listen to you?" At the same time, Lin Liguo did not name the location: "People in their 20s are regarded as'super geniuses', what is the benefit of this?"... On the afternoon of September 10, Mao Zedong suddenly decided to leave Shanghai immediately and return to the city via Beijing Railway Station after learning about some abnormal situations. During Mao Zedong's southern tour, Lin Biao Group was very anxious and tried every means to understand Mao Zedong's movements, words and deeds. The content of Mao Zedong's conversations along the southern tour caused great panic in Lin Biao Group. Minutes of Chairperson Mao's conversations with responsible comrades in various places along the route during his inspection (excerpted) (mid-August to September 12, 1971)... At the Lushan Conference in 1970, they carried out surprise attacks and underground activities. Why didn't they dare to make it public? It can be seen that there are ghosts in their hearts. They concealed things first, and then they launched a surprise attack. The five Standing Committee members concealed three of them, and they also concealed most of the comrades in the Politburo, except for those few generals. Those generals, including Huang Yongsheng, Wu Faxian, Ye Qun, Li Zuopeng, Qiu Huizuo, Li Xuefeng, Zheng Weishan. They were not breathless at all, and they made a surprise attack. They launched an attack not for a day and a half, but at noon on August 23, 24, and 25, a total of two and a half days. They always have a purpose for doing this. Peng Dehuai started a military club and gave a gauntlet. They were not even as good as Peng Dehuai, which shows the low style of these people.... Comrade Lin Biao's speech did not discuss with me, nor did he show it to me. They had something to say, but if they didn't take it out in advance, they probably always thought they had some confidence, and it seemed that they would succeed, but when they said no, they panicked again. At first, they had so much courage that they had the potential to blow up Lushan Mountain and stop the rotation of the earth. However, after a few days, they quickly retracted the records. Since it was reasonable, why did they withdraw it? It shows that they were empty and panicked. The struggle between the Lushan Conference and Peng Dehuai in 1959 was a struggle between two commands. The struggle with Liu Shaoqi was also a struggle between two commands, and this Lushan Conference was another struggle between two commands.... I have always disapproved of my wife being the office director of my work unit. At Lin Biao's place, Ye Qun was the office director, and the four of them had to go through her to ask Lin Biao for instructions. To do your work, you have to do it yourself, see it for yourself, and approve it yourself. Don't rely on secretaries, don't make secretaries so powerful. My secretary only handles sending and receiving, sending and receiving documents, and choosing documents for yourself. Read for yourself, and write what you have to do, so as not to make mistakes. At this Lushan meeting, some comrades were deceived and deceived. The problem is not yours, the problem is in Beijing. It doesn't matter if some mistakes are made. Our party has such a rule. If you make a mistake, you will review it and allow mistakes to be corrected. Xu Shiyou, who protected Mao Zedong's southern tour
